Republican Florida Senator Rick Scott has been vocal in his criticism of President Joe Biden, and on Tuesday night, he released an ad that calls for the president to resign. The ad is set to air in Florida on Wednesday, the same day that Biden is scheduled to visit the state.
.@JoeBiden once again lies about Republicans trying to cut Social Security and Medicare.
Here is my ad running tomorrow to welcome Joe to FL – he is a tax cheat and needs to resign. pic.twitter.com/9AdblW008W

The ad begins with Scott accusing Biden of cutting $280 billion from Medicare, a reference to a provision in the Inflation Reduction Act that allows Medicare to negotiate drug prices with manufacturers. Scott then claims that Biden has cheated on his taxes, referring to a report from the Congressional Research Service which found Biden skirted Medicare payments. Scott goes on to say that Biden used a loophole to dodge half a million dollars in taxes that should have gone to Medicare, and that he now wants to close the loophole and raise taxes. Scott ends the ad by calling for Biden to resign.
Scott’s campaign told the Daily Caller News Foundation that the ad was released ahead of Biden’s visit to Florida in order to “welcome” him and to show that it is Biden who wants to cut funding for Medicare and Social Security, not Republicans. The campaign also said that if Biden wants to do something good for the country, he should resign.
The White House did not respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.
